Too loud music

Nice trip but the music was very loud and made it hard to talk to the people I was with.

Nothing impressive and overbooked boats

I booked this specific tour as it was advertised as a smaller boat with more space. I was 20 min early at the boat and there was no space at all left at neither boat. The same company had few boats and everything was already full, 1st and 2nd floor. I had to ask people to squeeze in on their table so the 3 of us could sit. Basically they overbook the boats and people were all seating very close to each other, so not very comfortable for 6 hours. It was boring and there was no entertainment, as i have seen on other tours before. Barely light music from the 70s in English. We stopped at few spots to swim. The biggest so called attraction Orak Island (The Maldives of Turkey) was full with tour boats and we were stopped between all those boats for a swim at a small part of the beach. It was not at all what i expected. Very crowded by boats and people and it was not worth going there at all. So i was not impressed at all. Would not recommend.

Best Boat Trip Ever

Fantastic Day with Bayside Boat Tours 🚤☀️🇹🇷 We had an absolutely fantastic day out with Bayside Boat Tours in Bodrum and honestly couldn’t fault it! From start to finish, everything was brilliant. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful, and the whole trip was really well organised. We visited some beautiful bays, had plenty of time to swim in the crystal-clear water and enjoyed some lovely food on board. The scenery around the Bodrum coastline was stunning, and the atmosphere on the boat was fantastic. There was a great balance between relaxing, swimming, enjoying the sunshine and having fun. Bayside Boat Tours really made our day special and it was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday. We would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Bodrum and would absolutely book with them again! ❤️🌊☀️🚤🇹🇷 Beautiful Family Buisness

Great day at low cost!

We had an amazing day. The staff were friendly, the boat was spacious and had enough space for everyone to enjoy themselves in the sun. The views were spectacular and we enjoyed the food and places we could swim.

Fun boat trip on the water

We had a fun boat trip. We stoped in 4 places and each spot was unique in its own way. We were served lunch and after tea on the boat and the staff was extremely friendly. Getting on and off the boat was quite smooth and organized. Expect to see many boats during the high summer season.

Boat Trip to the Turkish Maldives- Orak Island: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bodrum.

How much does Boat Trip to the Turkish Maldives- Orak Island cost?

+

Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bodrum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Boat Trip to the Turkish Maldives- Orak Island take?

+

Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bodrum is not rushed.

Is Boat Trip to the Turkish Maldives- Orak Island worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 298 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Bodrum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

Can I cancel or reschedule Boat Trip to the Turkish Maldives- Orak Island?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Boat Trip to the Turkish Maldives- Orak Island suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Boat Trip to the Turkish Maldives- Orak Island?

+

Around 104 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bodrum can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bodrum and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Boat Trip to the Turkish Maldives- Orak Island start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bodrum within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Bodrum?

+

On Outty we rank every Bodrum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Bodrum City Tour for Cruisers, Bodrum Orak Island (Turkish Maldives) Boat Trip, Bodrum Segway Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Bodrum?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Bodrum?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
